Question

ATP is often an allosteric inhibitor of the key enzymes in catabolic pathways. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with the role of ATP?
A) ATP couples energy production in catabolic pathways to energy demand in anabolic pathways.
B) When ATP levels are high in the cell, it is an indication that energy supply from catabolic reactions exceeds energy demand by anabolic reactions.
C) the binding of ATP to allosteric sites on enzymes of the catabolic pathway decreases the production of ATP by the pathway.
D) Increasing availability of ATP increases the energy available to drive endergonic reactions.
E) When ATP levels are low in the cell, there's no inhibition of the catabolic pathway and ATP production is at a maxmum.

I know I'm not supposed to ask for the answer but my text is not clear and the questions are all on this topic, could someone plz explain to me the answer??
